Summer Sunhat Perfect for Sun Protection

Where would I be without a sunhat in summer? Probably burnt to a crisp and looking like a lobster. While I don’t typically go shopping with a large sunhat on, it’s not uncommon for me to wear them most every where else. (And I won’t lie, especially for photoshoots). The most appropriate and obviously best place to wear a sunhat is the pool and the beach. It so happens that when you are as pale as me, you burn easily. Even when I re-apply sunscreen I typically end up with the start of a burn. Maybe I just suck as sunscreen (probably) but a sunhat at least makes sure I have more protection in summer. Especially when you just don’t feel like reapplying every 2 hours. (I know it’s bad, and I always regret it, but it always happens that way).Disclosure: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links, meaning at no additional cost to you I may make a commission if you click through and purchase.

Everyone has gone to their wardrobes at least one time in their lives, only to find lots of clothes but nothing to wear. Ever wonder why does this happens? Besides not having a personal style (or perhaps you do), you haven’t build a functional wardrobe. Maybe you’ve been purchasing garments that you love, but haven’t planned it well. Just like with makeup, you need a foundation to achieve a neat beautiful look. In fashion, this would be the basics of your wardrobe. However, your basics won’t be the same as other people’s basics. Think of foundation in makeup, everyone has their own unique preferences & you will choose the one with your skin color. It’s the same with wardrobe basics.Owning a personal style is like the skin tone & the fit of these is like the texture of your foundation (dewy, matte, etc.).

They are simply incredible, amazing quality, soft, long-lasting, and sustainable, what else could I ask for?Now, I’m going to show you what are the 6 must-haves everyone should have in their wardrobe. You will see mine, but yours may be different. Still, this will give you a clear idea of why are they so important.So, what are the essential pieces? 1. Plain White T-shirt. (Or any light color you prefer) A plain t-shirt is a must-have because it looks great with every pair of pants or bottom that you own. It gives you the versatility you need to create outfits with each item in your wardrobe. However, if you don’t like white clothing, you can opt for a light-colored t-shirt. Why? Well, having the option of color contrast always helps, as it adds more options to your wardrobe.
